Subject: Re: How to connect cl+ssl with host ca verification?
To: Sabra Crolleton <

That works, but it looks like the root ca has to be added to the system. If using psql I could specify where all the certs I want to use to connect with like so:
$>psql "port=5432 host=localhost user=postgres sslcert=./test/client.crt sslkey=./test/client.key sslrootcert=./test/server.crt sslmode=verify-full"
Is there an equivalent in Postmodern?
The cl-postgres (open-database ...) function has :use-ssl as a key parameter where the parameter values:
- :try means if the server supports it
- :require means use provided ssl certificate with no verification
- :yes means verify that the server cert is issued by a trusted CA, but does not verify the server hostname
- :full means expect a CA-signed cert for the supplied hostname and verify the server hostname
This is mirrored in the postmodern (connect ...) function.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to use :full as the parameter passed to :use-ssl. E.g.
(connect "test_db" "test-user" "test-password" "192.168.5.223"
:port 5434 :pooled-p t :use-ssl :full)
But maybe I am not understanding your question correctly.

I am not finding any helpful information in how to connect to PostgreSQL using client key/client cert and a root ca for verifying the host with Postmodern. Can someone send me an example?
